The de-shedding rake is designed to quickly and effectively remove loose undercoat and dead hair from thick, dense coats. The 360° degrees rotating pins pull through the fur, loosening mats. How to Use: Brush in the direction of growth, starting from the head to the tail, loosening mats and removing loose hair. Avoid brushing in one area for too long to prevent irritation. Always clean your tool after each use. Remove the bulk of the hair and soak for approximately 10 minutes in hot water with soap or a pet-safe disinfectant. Dry the tool and store away until next use.
